Description

Soulver helps you do quick calculations and work things out. Use Soulver to play around with numbers, do "back of the envelope" calculations, and solve day-to-day problems.

Annotate your numbers with words, so that they make sense to you. Soulver picks out the numbers and calculates your answer as you type. Do calculations over multiple lines, and refer to previous lines, much like a spreadsheet.

Soulver is great for adding things up, doing all kinds of percentages easily, and converting things, like currencies. It's quicker to use than a spreadsheet, and smarter and clearer than a traditional calculator.

Key Features:

- A text editor for working stuff out & doing quick calculations.- Use words amid your calculations so your numbers make sense- Easily do percentages ("$120 - 10%", "30 as a % of 200")- See a running total of all your lines- Do easy conversions ("10 USD in Euros, "22 feet in meters")- Do calculations with stocks ("100 AAPL")- Refer to previous lines using tokens.- Create variables to hold frequently used numbers- All the standard mathematical functions.- Support for calculations in binary & hex.- Save your work & share it with the iPhone & iPad versions of Soulver.- Export into PDF & HTML emailing.- Support for Resume & Versions on Mac OS 10.7 Lion

Exporting & Printing:

• When you print, export directly to PDF or Send to Mail, visual options in your document (line numbers visible, statistic visible, etc) are used. Alternatively, these visual options can still be customised by going through the File → Export dialog.

iCloud Syncing:

• New unsaved files are no longer synced to iCloud with the “suppress save warning for unsaved documents” preference turned on (it’s off by default). This is to avoid your iCloud folder become cluttered up with “scratch” files you won’t use again.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a visual bug where the margin of the text area could become narrow in documents with over 100 lines. • Fixed a bug related to opening documents on 10.6

Delighted

Very nearly perfect. I’d love to see a ‘draw a line under this’ feature so I could kind of checkpoint the running total figure at a certain stage and then start fresh on the next line. I tend to use this as an always-open scratchpad which I can refer back to during the day; unfortunately having a single running total number doesn’t make sense in that use case since my calculations are not related. I don’t really want multiple windows open since I just want to get in it quickly.

My go-to calculator

On macOS and iOS, I always reach for Soulver before any other calculator app, and almost always instead of opening a spreadsheet. Another reviewer described it as "Mathmatica lite" which is just about perfect. I might also say Like a Jupyter Notebook for basic arithmetic — although that might even be selling it a little short. Let's just say it's truly great and very handy and I rarely find myself wanting to use anything else when it comes to juggling numbers.

Fantastic app!

I’ve used Soulver for years and it’s a fantastic tool the entire time. I use it every single day for school or family finances. Other classmates have been blown away by how easy it is to use and how much easier it is to make calculations and formulas than Excel. Thanks, Soulver!
